Where GravitHy Fos sur Mer is
GravitHy Fos sur Mer is at Fos-Sur-Mer, France, and this register holds no position for it. The company has confirmed the site and no citable source places the works: it is being built where nobody has yet drawn it. The row is held anyway — position is not a condition of being on file — and what was searched, and what was found instead, is below.
NO POSITION SOUGHT BY THIS PASS. Brief 8 forbids geocoding in a census — a municipality is not a point — and position is not an admission leg. The works is named by its owner and by GEM's own plant record; a position is a later task and the row does not wait on it.

- by 2026-09-20Announced“The industrial site of Fos-sur-Mer, France, will host our first Hot Briquetted Iron production plant, based on low carbon hydrogen. The plant will produce 2 million tonnes per year of Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) and Hot Briquetted Iron.”source
Technology and measures
- Hydrogen direct reductionpilotThe reducing gas is hydrogen rather than natural gas, so what leaves the furnace is water rather than CO2. It is the only route that takes the chemistry of ironmaking to near zero, and it is separated from the conversion itself because every European unit under construction is being commissioned on natural gas and switched later.
Funding
No public capital recorded for this project.
